Sharon Jardine

Sharon Jardine is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the ups and downs of major life changes. She works in a down-to-earth way and aims to make a tense first step feel more manageable. Sharon names hoarding and domestic abuse among her specialist concerns and also supports people facing compassion fatigue, parenting strain and ADHD-related challenges.

Sharon holds a Level 4 Diploma and has three years of professional counselling experience. She builds sessions around what the client wants to talk about, using a person-centred style that treats each person as the expert on their own life. Her manner is relaxed while drawing on counselling theory when it helps.

In session she listens for strengths and small steps that can make a difference. She uses solution-focused questions and motivational techniques to help people clarify goals and try things that could help. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they suit a person’s needs and preferences.

Sharon works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She is mindful of the practical pressures that bring people to therapy and aims to support someone in finding manageable ways to cope and make change. She emphasises care, empathy and validation of thoughts and feelings.

People who come to her can expect straightforward conversations about what matters most to them. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual, with an emphasis on building small, usable changes over time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Sharon uses a person-centred approach that places the client's priorities first, helping people talk through what matters and notice their own strengths. This approach is useful for stress, life changes and relationship difficulties because it keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to change.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to turn conversations into small, practical goals. That work helps when someone wants short-term progress, clearer next steps, or support trying new coping strategies. Mindfulness techniques are sometimes introduced to help with anxiety, compassion fatigue and managing difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. She listens to goals and adapts the style so it fits the person's pace and circumstances.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier by removing travel time, offering more flexible scheduling and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer.
